...#3 The Bermuda Triangle Mysteries Strange events seem to have taken place in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the United States. In and around an area formed by an imaginary line connecting Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico, a significant number of ships and planes have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The Bermuda Triangle is a place where more than 100 planes and ships vanished into thin air, and more than 1,000 lives have been lost without a single body or even a piece of wreckage from the vanishing planes or ships have been found. Besides the Bermuda Triangle, it is also popularly known as the Devil’s Triangle, Limbo of the Lost, the Hoodoo Sea, the Twilight Zone, and the Port of Missing Ships (Without a Trace). Even though in the Bermuda Triangle a substantial documentation shows numerous incidents to have been inaccurately reported, a number of aircraft and surface vessels have mysteriously disappeared. There are many theories that try to explain the disappearances of ships and air planes. One prophet has predicted that one day the space warp will free all the vessels and they will return to their home ports with the skeleton of the crews. Another speculates that the crew may be alive, the same age as when they left, and they will be able to reveal the secret of what lies beyond the shadowy edge of the Bermuda Triangle. In the other hand, accident investigators suspect that atmospheric aberrations and electromagnetic...

...Ashley N. Arvie English 2315-02 Dr. Emily E. Stelzer 15 September 18 Learnings from the Great Wanderings, Book 10: Circe Instinct, united with courage, obedience and wisdom, rooted in a reverence for the supernatural gods (polytheistic or The Greek Pantheon) or God (monotheistic), is an assured formula for victory and triumph when faced with destitution and crisis in life. This ideology rings true for ancient Greeks as well as modern day Christians and humans alike. Throughout the exploit on the Aeaean Island, the home of Circe, hero, Odysseus and his men were forced to utilize both innate and acquired tactics to advance to the next episode in their journey home. The reader is inescapably presented with examples of the king and his crew displaying the powerful characteristics of instinct, courage, obedience and wisdom as god-fearing men. Odysseus shows his fear of the gods most consistently through trust, though it is many times accompanied with disturbing obstacles. HEROIC CHARACTERISTICS AND LESSONS LEARNED After two days and two nights of a restless breather in their journey, upon sunrise, Odysseus immediately and instinctively sought a sign of human industry. (Odyssey 10.161) The irrefutable necessity of food and rest presented itself, though coupled with uncertainty of who or what may be encountered, brave Odysseus presses onward. The noble warrior and his countrymen are obligated to exude faith in the gods and themselves while diving into the unknown, yet again...

...the hypothesis that some unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are best explained as being physical spacecraft occupied by extraterrestrial life or non-human aliens from other planets visiting Earth. Etymology Origins of the term extraterrestrial hypothesis are unknown, but use in printed material on UFOs seems to date to at least the latter half of the 1960s. French Ufologist Jacques Vallee used it in his 1966 book Challenge to science: the UFO enigma. It was used in a publication by French engineer Aimé Michel in 1967,[1] by Dr. James E. McDonald in a symposium in March 1968[2] and again by McDonald and James Harder while testifying before the Congressional Committee on Science and Astronautics, in July 1968.[3] Skeptic Philip J. Klass used it in his 1968 book UFOs--Identified. In 1969 physicist Edward Condon defined the "Extra-terrestrial Hypothesis" or "ETH" as the "idea that some UFOs may be spacecraft sent to Earth from another civilization or space other than earth, or on a planet associated with a more distant star," while presenting the findings of the much debated Condon Report. Some UFO historians credit Condon with popularizing the term and its abbreviation "ETH". Chronology Although ETH, as a unified and named hypothesis, is a comparatively new concept - one which owes a lot to the saucer sightings of the 1940s–1960s, it can trace its origins back to a number of earlier events such as the now discredited Martian canals and ancient Martian civilization promoted by astronomer Percival...

...Manny Merritt Mrs. Range English 4 5-November-2014 Herbert George Wells is considered one of the most influential literary figures of his generation; his imprint can be seen in today’s literature, particularly in the science fiction genre. By looking at The Time Machine, one can see that H.G. wells included the themes of Capitalism and Communism because he fears what will befall mankind if Capitalism continues to exploit workers. Herbert George was born in September 1866 in Bromley, England. Wells was a precocious child learned to read at the age of 5. When Wells was seven he was incapacitated by an accident. During recovery, he read many books Wood’s Natural history, The Bible, The Pilgrims Progress. He came from a working class, his father played professional cricket and ran a hardware store. Wells fathers store consists of Porcelain and cricket supplies (bio.com). After Well’s fathers shop did not work out his family struggles financially.

...CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTERS By the type of data they manipulate · Digital computers. A computer that stores data in terms of digits (0's and 1's) and proceeds in discrete steps from one state to the next. The states of a digital computer typically involve binary digits which may take the form of the presence or absence of magnetic markers in a storage medium, on-off switches or relays. In digital computers, even letters, words and whole texts are represented digitally. They have the ability to store large quantities of data. · Analogue computers. A computer that uses electrical or mechanical phenomena to model the problem being solved, or more generally by using one kind of physical quantity to represent another. They perform arithmetic operations and logic comparison by measuring changes in physical magnitude e.g. electronic voltage, pressure change, temperature changes etc. · Hybrid computers. Are designed by interconnecting the digital computer and analog computer's element directly into one processor using a suitable interfacing circuitry. I.e. both the digital and analog features are built within the same computer processor. They are advantageous in that they combine both the functional capabilities of the digital and analogue computers, though they are more expensive By the purpose for which they are designed for · Special purpose or dedicated computers A computer that is designed to operate on a restricted class of problems. They carry out special processing tasks...

...The Interaction between Imagery and Allusions in translating Chinese PoetryBased on Tu Fu’s Poems Shih-ying Liaw Prof. Wang Linguistics and Translation June 18 2012 Shih ying Liaw1 Shih-ying Liaw Prof. Wang Linguistics and Translation June 18 2012 The Interaction between Imagery and Allusions in translating Chinese PoetryBased on Tu Fu’s Poems Though Chinese poetry has been translating for almost a hundred years, there are still many questions about the translation strategies and situations worth discussing. In this paper, the interaction between imagery and allusions when translating are discussed and the practical situation used when translating are presented. To discuss the interaction between imagery and allusions, the first thing is to identify and define each term. First is imagery. Imagery is thought to be the most important factor to the poetry. I use Ezra Pound’s word as definition because he is not only a pioneering translator in Chinese poetry and also a great poet. He says that “an image' is that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time.” Further explanation is given by Professor Liu in “The Art of Chinese Poetry” by putting imagery into two categories. The first is “simple imagery,” which is defined as “a verbal expression that evokes a mental picture, which not merely picture in words but also arouses emotional associations and enriches the poetic context”. The Shih ying Liaw2 second category...

Nanocomputing:”A nanocomputer is a computer whose physical dimensions are microscopic. The field of nanocomputing is part of the emerging field of nanotechnology . Several types of nanocomputers have been suggested or proposed by researchers and futurists.” Nanocomputing, as defined in this report, refers to computing systems which are constructed from nanoscale compo- nents. The issues that need to be faced for successful realization of nanocomputers relate to the scale and integration of the components. nanotechnology and its type: Electronic nanocomputers would operate in a manner similar to the way present-day microcomputers work. Most engineers agree that technology has not yet come close to pushing this limit. By 1970s standards, today's ordinary microprocessors might be called nanodevices. Chemical and biochemical nanocomputers would store and process information in terms of chemical structures and interactions. Biochemical nanocomputers already exist in nature; they are manifest in all living things. But these systems are...

...Andes flight disaster Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, also known as the Andes flight disaster and, in South America, as the Miracle of the Andes (El Milagro de los Andes) was a chartered flight carrying 45 people, including a rugby union team, their friends, family and associates, that crashed in the Andes on 13 October 1972. More than a quarter of the passengers died in the crash and several others quickly succumbed to cold and injury. Of the 27 who were alive a few days after the accident, another eight were killed by an avalanche that swept over their shelter in the wreckage. The last 16 survivors were rescued on 23 December 1972, more than two months after the crash. The survivors had little food and no source of heat in the harsh conditions at over 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) altitude. Faced with starvation and radio news reports that the search for them had been abandoned, the survivors fed on the dead passengers who had been preserved in the snow. Rescuers did not learn of the survivors until 72 days after the crash when passengers Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, after a 10-day trek across the Andes, found Chilean arriero Sergio Catalán, who gave them food and then alerted the authorities to the existence of the other survivors. The crash On 13 October 1972, a chartered Uruguayan Air Force twin turboprop Fairchild FH-227D was flying over the Andes carrying the Old Christians Club rugby union team from Montevideo, Uruguay, to play a match in Santiago, Chile. The trip...

...hapter 1 INTRODUCTION A. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY It is said that “A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes” just an evident of how intricate a shoe is-in yourself and in the eyes of the people around you. Going back to history, in societal belief, the person with a high-profiled has an identity of having polished-leathered shoes in his/her feet. At this modern era, everyone has its decision whether to use shoe polisher or not, something that diminished the gap between the so-called high people and lower ones. Shoe polish used to polish, shine, and waterproof leather shoes or boots to extend the footwear's life, and restore, maintain and improve their appearance (thefreedictionary). Shoe polish had been widely used even before the twentieth century, during the medieval times, dubbin- a waxy product, was used to soften and waterproof leather but did not made the leather shine until they tried to mixed the beeswax and lanolin as bases that until now major company of boot polish is using. Another historical file, the popularity of shoe polish paralleled a general rise in leather and synthetic shoe production, beginning in the 19th century and continuing into the 20th. The World Wars saw a surge in demand for the product, in order to polish army boots and contributed to its fame all over the globe. Focusing to our study, we will use the banana peel extract and coconut husk...

...1 Brian W. Popp Professor Moody English 1, Essay III 15 October 2012 SOME TEACHERS SHOULDN’T BE TEACHERS I have had many teachers that shouldn’t be teachers. Whether they were under qualified, pompous or really just didn’t care about their students or what they’re doing, they don’t deserve the title teacher. A teacher should be someone who knows the field they are teaching and someone students can turn to if they are lost or confused about the subject. In the military, I’ve been in instructor billets quite often throughout my time and use these examples as a what not to do. In the military, I have seen countless examples of bad teachers. A lot of the problem is the rank of the individual. When an instructor is a high ranking individual he or she is usually pompous and arrogant. If the students dare to ask a question it’s like you are challenging his or her ability to teach and it’s usually met with hostility. When I was a junior Marine, I went to my first leadership school and met my first of many horrible instructors. His name was SSgt Griffin. I remember asking him a simple question about how he got an answer on one of his calculations. The way he responded, one would have thought I murdered one of his children. He jumped up on the desk he was teaching behind and started yelling at me. After I dodged the 2 three markers he threw at me during his tongue lashing, I was ordered to pick them up because he needed them to continue the class...
